AbstractInvestigation of the properties of indium zinc oxide (IZO) thin films sputter-deposited on LCD-grade glass substrate showed that the resistivity of an IZO film decreases markedly as the substrate temperature is increased from room-temperature to 120°C. This phenomenon can be attributed to the growth of In-Zn intermetallic compounds in the amorphous region as a result of annealing. The compound growth was observed by plan-view transmission electron microscopy.Although the transmittance and resistivity of IZO are inferior to those of indium-tin oxide, these disadvantages do not present any difficulties in the practical use of IZO for designing TFT-LCDs. Since IZO is an amorphous material, we propose a five-mask process with this characteristic.

ABSTRACTWe have developed a new, minimal damage approach for examination of luminescent porous Si layers (PSLs) by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In this approach, chemically etched PSLs are fabricated after conventional plan-view TEM sample preparation. A diffraction pattern consisting of a diffuse center spot, characteristic of amorphous material, is primarily observed. However, crystalline, microcrystalline, and amorphous regions could all be observed in selected areas. A crystalline mesh structure could be observed in some of the thin areas near the pinhole. The microcrystallite sizes were 15–150 Å and decreased in size when located further from the pinhole.
